A song about Hollywood
We might be down
But we're no way out
We live life to the full
Thats what we're all about
We've lost the battle
But there's still a war to win
Its not the end
Its where it all begins

So thank you Mr Jack Daniels
For maiking it all seem clear
Thanks to all the songwriters
Who were my friends when no-one was here

Ive got a stable diet of cigarettes
Im being drip fed pure sweet regret
My name may never be
Six foot high for all to see
But the bright lights fuelled my dreams
When it got too hard
So thank you and goodnight
Hollywood Boulevard

I see the once strong women
Selling their souls on the street
Still thinking of day they arrived
With their bags and the world at their feet
But often do they wonder
How it all came to this
No photo shoots, no "A" class friends
But so much ass to kiss

So thank you all the Britneys
Is it worth the things you do
So whats left for the rest of us
Who aint as pretty as you

Ive got a stable diet of cigarettes
Im being drip fed pure sweet regret
My name may never be
Six foot high for all to see
But the bright lights fuelled my dreams
When it got too hard
So thank you and goodnight
Hollywood Boulevard

Where are all the cowboys
Who ride to save the day
Who tip their hats and get the girl
Isnt that what they always say
Where is left to go now
The lies are burning through
Did you cry when they closed the theatres
Did the movies get you too

So thank you Mr Malboro
For that hero's frame of mind
It more than just addiction
Its the life Im trying to find

Ive packed my bags and coat
Im waiting for the last train home
My lights have all burned out
Im just too tired to roam
So raise your glass to all the men
Who lived fast and lived hard
To those who loved and lost
On Hollywood Boulevard
